Traineeship Scheme

The Traineeship Scheme is intended to provide jobseekers with initial vocational training (pre-employment training) that will help individuals obtain the knowledge, skills and competence required to find and retain employment. Traineeships are based on the dual system of vocational training providing a combination of on-the-job and off-the-job training. The programmes offered are labour market driven, whereby the job preferences of the jobseekers are matched with the requests made by employers participating in the scheme. The duration of a traineeship is determined by the content of the theoretical programme and the hands on training required to meet the objectives. The duration of a traineeship varies between 10 to 26 weeks, on an average of 40 hours/week. The theoretical tuition will be delivered by Jobsplus at its training complex and/or by any other approved entity. The classroom training offered as part of the Traineeships programme is recognised by the Malta Qualifications Framework (MQF). In turn their classification level obtained depends upon the area of study. Participants are paid a training allowance throughout the traineeships, which is calculated on the national minimum wage. Unemployed registrants participating in the scheme will be exempted from the weekly registration.
